Likes

Driving at highway speeds with the top down is comfortable, not punishing; comfy and supportive seats; great turning radius; small, quick, and agile; Airscarf option sends warm air to your neck, perfect for chilly, sunny days

Dislikes

No room behind the seats; trunk space is very tight; poor visibility, even with the top down; too easy to unintentionally bump the gearshift into sequential mode

Verdict

It’s hard to miss this car, especially as in bright red it almost screams, “middle-age crisis.” But so long as none of my thirty-something friends were watching, it was perfect for a weekend drive on twisty back roads
